I would have considered it impossible before. And yet it happened — I bought an iPhone. What led me there? Updates and the slowdown of my Android. When Motorola released the Moto E 2nd gen they guaranteed an update to the next version. Which meant going fro...
The pros and cons — why I switched from one app to the other.
Having a backup is always an advantage. But what do you do with two-factor authentication? Yes, most sensible services will offer you backup codes (usually 10). But what if that option isn't available? Will you back up the whole app...
Rigid public sector vs. processes in a global company
It really is a difference — even day one casts a spell on you. Comparing it to my first day at NBÚ/NÚKIB (from an employee's perspective) is night and day. Everything was prepared for us, we got a huge amount of information and then we just...
Until now I'd been using boxed Lightroom 6 and Photoshop CS 13. Not that they didn't suit me — Lightroom in its last boxed version has a pretty wide range of features. However, when I needed to make minor adjustments, it wasn't exactly great. So I'd been eyeing an upg...
Why shooting at this focal length is so much better
My kit (and standard) lens for the Df is the special edition 50mm Nikkor. I loved that focal length on DX. No other lens gave me such great shots. But on the Df the 50mm isn't quite as brilliant. To be more precise — the image quality is wo...
Since we were already in Semmering and close to RaxAlp, we decided to spend a day going there. We bought the tickets (QR code) online — valid all the way to the cable car (the ticket also covers the bus). You can also buy the cable car ticket in advance. The ride tak...
Holiday by train! We boarded in Brno and less than 3 hours later we'd arrived. Semmering — a picturesque spa town best known to railway enthusiasts. The town sits on the hill above the station. From the centre you can see more hills, left and right. Everywhere you go...
How a neoprene sleeve keeps water cold even in the hottest weather.
Until recently I was using bottles from the Swiss company Sigg. They really do last forever. However mine were starting to peel on the inside and were getting hard to clean even with tablets — Brno's hard water probably do...
On a recommendation from Forbes magazine… we spent our holiday on Menorca
We landed late and after picking up our luggage we were greeted with an unpleasant surprise. The hotel had sold more rooms than it actually had and was offering us compensation — accommodation somewhere completely differen...
Tyre change, check-in, and waiting for luggage… that's Travel Service and Prague Airport for you!
Tyre change
When departing for Menorca we were supposed to board an aircraft that had just arrived from Bulgaria. It landed on time, about 45–60 minutes before our scheduled departure. But during...
